which he called "the world's worst movie," even though the general public would not have the opportunity to see the film he was talking about for another 50 years. During the course of this same interview with Steve Allen, Zappa discusses how he recorded the soundtrack for this film in the Little Theatre, located at Chaffey College in Alta Loma, California, along with the plethora of instruments used. Excerpts of The World's Greatest Sinners soundtrack were popular among certain bootleggers, and, subsequently, in 2009 were officially made available by Zappa Records on disc three of Beat the Boots III. The film's title track and theme music, however, was eventually released by Donna Records as the B-side to the Baby Ray & The Ferns single "How's Your Bird?" in April 1963, with both songs being in turn later included on the compilation albums Rare Meat: The Early Works of Frank Zappa (1983) and Cucamonga (1998). Legacy The influence of The World's Greatest Sinner on certain compositions in various later works, Mothers and non-Mothers, by Zappa can be felt in the reutilization of certain motifs from its soundtrack in such compositions as "Oh No" from Lumpy Gravy (1967) and Weasels Ripped My Flesh (1970), the second part of "Dog Breath" on Uncle Meat (1969), the Meat Light (2016) track "Blood Unit", and the Burnt Weeny Sandwich (1970) instrumentals "Overture To A Holiday In Berlin" and "Holiday In Berlin, Full-Blown". In turn, starting with its One Size Fits All (1975) incarnation, "Inca Roads" would borrow certain The World's Greatest Sinner motifs via the two "Holiday In Berlin" tracks to provide a transition from the guitar solo into the middle verse, motifs that are also quoted in "Strictly Genteel" from the film 200 Motels (1971).
